Capturing Value in ColoradoRecycle Colorado is a 501(c)3, statewide nonprofit organization advancing circular economies & improving recycling across the state of Colorado. Our members share a vision to transform Colorado into a national leader in waste reduction, recovery, and diversion.Our membership consists of 148 organizations and individuals who collaborate on problems, solutions, projects, and policy. With the support of our members, we are able to plan an annual Summit for Recycling conference, webinars, and many other educational events throughout the year. Colorado's recycling rate of 16% does not reflect the conservation mindset of its residents. We believe that communication between all aspects of the waste stream, haulers, producers, users, recyclers, composters, and cities and counties, is vital to achieving Colorado's diversion goals which preserve the state's beauty and resources.
2025 Summit for Recycling: Over the mountains and to the Western Slope! The Summit for Recycling annual conference is the biggest statewide networking and educational event focused on capturing the value in our waste stream and moving towards a circular economy in Colorado. We are super excited to bring the Summit to a location with so much happening around waste diversion. 2025 Summit for Recycling ConferenceRegister for the SummitSponsor the Summit

Thank you to all of the participants, legislators, sponsors and exhibitors who joined us this year! Battery stewardship energized advocates at the Capitol on our March 4th Lobby Day. Advocates were tasked with asking legislators to support SB25-163, Battery Stewardship for Colorado. It was hard for those passing by the foyar to hide their looks of excitement when they spotted Molson the fire safety dog. Molson was not short on love and attention for his day at the Capitol. Advocates spoke very highly of their legislators and their support of the battery stewardship bill. A simple conversation with someone about a larger problem can help them understand the true impacts their actions can have.
